I have recently setup a small new virtual environment. One of the key features is a vDP backup appliance running on a host at physically separate location, with backups being performed over the network. This allows for backups that are protected from disasters like fire.
I am trying to backup 3 VMs from one host to this backup appliance, using a single backup job. Two of them are able to backup fine, but one VM is always erroring out with this error:
VDP: Backup job (Main Backup) failed to backup client Main Server. Execution error: E10007:Miscellaneous Error.
I haven't been able to find much more of value, except poking around some text logs in the vDP appliance I saw some SSL communications errors in the nfcssl protocol.
I should also add that the VM in question is a Windows Server 2008 R2 standard guest OS. I have set disk.EnableUUID to false, and I'm using vshadow.exe in a script file to prep the VSS for backup during the snapshot process. However, one of the other VMs that is successfully backing up is the exact same server OS and configuration, and it is working fine.
Both hosts are Dell servers running ESXi 5.1.
Also, this VM is also the largest of the 3 VMs, with a 1 TB partition with about 100GB utilized. At one point it had an RDM disk attached, but after reading that can cause problems I have detached it and still get the error.
Thanks in advance for any help!
